Headword: *porqmh/i+on
Adler number: pi,2072
Translated headword: ferry-fee
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

[Meaning] the pay of a sailor. Callimachus [writes]: "therefore even as corpses they do not carry a ferry-fee." For in Aegialus[1] there is a way down to Hades, which Demeter came to and learned from the locals about Kore and endowed them, as he says, with exemption from the ferry-fee.
